From Greek antiquity, an Athenian official whose duty was to supervise athletic schools and games.

1. A large room equipped for physical exercise or training of various kinds; for example, in a school or a private sports club.
2. In Europe, primarily in Germany and other German-speaking countries, a secondary school where the emphasis is on academic subjects rather than on technical training.

The ancient Greeks placed a high value on both physical and mental fitness. Each important city in Greece had a public area set aside in which young men would gather to exercise, compete in sports, and receive training in philosophy, music, and literature.

Living in a warm climate and not wanting to be encumbered in their activities by unnecessary clothing, the Greeks would typically do their exercising in the nude.

The name given to the exercise area was therefore gymnasion, literally "school for naked exercise", from the verb gymnazein, "to exercise naked", a derivative of the adjective gymnos, "naked".

The Greek gymnasion, became the Latin gymnasium, which was used in two distinct senses to mean both "an exercise ground" and "a public school".

Historically this word applies, says the Century Dictionary (1914), to ancient Greek "dances and gymnastic exercises performed, as at public festivals, by boys or youths unclothed."

The festivals where this naked dancing took place and the dancing itself were known as gymnopaedia (primarily a British spelling) or gymnopedia (primarily an American spelling).
